With what is being touted as the “biggest sports film”, Kabir is venturing into fairly new genre, whose credits include political-drama-thrillers like “New York”, “Bajrangi Bhaijaan”, the most recent “Tubelight”, among others.

Apart from this, the filmmaker is also set to helm a web series based on freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army for Amazon Prime Video.

Ranveer, meanwhile, is gearing up for the release of his next, “Padmavati”.
